Receiving presents is, for children, a big highlight of Christmas and birthdays (or any occasion that calls for gifts). This lesson considers what it means to give and receive gifts. The visitation of the Magi at Epiphany reminds us that we should earnestly seek Jesus and think about what we can give Him in our lives. We also remember that the greatest gift we have ever been given is Jesus Christ and salvation in Him!
When we consider the story of Epiphany, there’s often great emphasis on the Magi, and with good reason: these men followed the star to seek out the Savior, sacrificing and bringing gifts along the way. However, it is important to remember that the true star was the Christ child. Jesus is the greatest gift of all, and we celebrate His coming to Earth as Messiah. God has sought us and made us His own, and we can celebrate that every day!
